Some of the classes that earned the movie and popcorn party were treated to their prize earlier this week. There were a couple classes that were quarantined and unable to participate; their party will be rescheduled.

covid reminders
Two Tips regarding COVID:
- Remember that persons who have had COVID will not have to quarantine for 90 days. Since we cannot accept home tests, if your child tests positive on a home test, please consider getting an official test. Send official test results to the school office for us to have on file. Once we have positive test results on file, your child will not have to quarantine for 90 days.
- Once classes are quarantined, there is an opportunity for students to test out of quarantine and return to class before the full 10 days. Many of our families are finding great success at the Gil Jones Center (3425 US 17 N Winter Haven). This is a free rapid test. Parents are receiving results in less than an hour. They are open 7 days a week from 8am until 6pm.
